What our travellers think of their stay

The coast with the Australia's, and even the world's, prettiest beaches!

My suggestion

Don't spend too long visiting the town of Esperance but head to Cape Le Grand National Park.

My suggestion

Have a coffee at the edge of the jetty and say hello to Sammy. Drive the Great Ocean Drive, starting with a climb to the Rotary Lookout viewpoint. Put on your hiking boots for Cape Le Grand National Park, where you will certainly feel privileged to have visited Lucky Bay.
